Which risk increases when a quantum dot's confinement function is designed with steep potential barriers?

💡 Explanation

Increased tunneling emerges because the abrupt potential facilitates the *quantum tunneling* mechanism into adjacent regions, therefore, electrons can escape the dot more easily, rather than being confined, particularly at higher energies.
